Kelly Boutin Poems

Baby, you’re my Cowboy Baby,
and Baby, with a silver sword
take your heart and chain it to me
and dub me your cowgirl
...

The flower girl threw flowers
until her wedding day
that day the only flowers
she threw was the bouquet.
...

You ask the truth, 'And how are you? '
you feel my heart, why need you ask?
I tell you what
you tell me nothing
...

A little girl
all alone on the beach
touches the sand
to build a fairytale.
...

You are what I'm looking for
Somewhere in these places
Life is what I haven't found
In any of these faces
...

Healing time, scarring lives
But then they heal someday?
Losing hope, finding pain
But then it goes away?
...

Baby, be my honey melon,
baby, be my cricket wings,
baby, in the springtime rain
sing me honey melon melodies.
...

Beneath the hollow chestnut tree
that grows broken heart-shaped leaves
grows the broken stump of a dream,
the broken, broken stump
...

I started our song today
because the music has almost gone away
how many songs will I replay
before the music dies?
...

Baby be my loving hand
Baby cause you understand
Baby be my loving heart
Baby be my split-apart
...
